KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 921 AM CDT SAT SEP 12 2026
- HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT SATURDAY FROM NOON UNTIL 7 PM FOR AREAS GENERALLY
ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH ADDITIONAL
HEAT HEADLINES POSSIBLE.
- MOST AREAS REMAIN DRY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, EXCEPT FOR SOME LOW RAIN
CHANCES OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1200 AM CDT SAT SEP 12 2026
MID AND UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST
TODAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR AN AREA OF MID-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE
CURRENTLY OVER MUCH OF THE NORTHERN PORTION OF TEXAS TO DROP
SOUTHWARD INTO OUR REGION. THIS SUBSIDENCE SHOULD LIMIT THE CHANCE
FOR CONVECTION ON SATURDAY AND WHILE THE NBM POPS ARE VERY LOW,
WE HAVE OPTED TO ADD A MENTION OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR
PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAINS INTO THE HIGHWAY 77 CORRIDOR. AT
LEAST A FEW OF THE HI-RES MODELS HINT AT SOME LATE AFTERNOON
CONVECTION DEVELOPING. WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR AREAS FARTHER NORTH
INTO THE I-35 CORRIDOR AND HILL COUNTRY FOR A POSSIBLE MENTION OF
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW FOR NOW AND
WILL KEEP OUT OF THE FORECAST TODAY.
TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY LOOK TO BE THE HOTTEST OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 106 DEGREES. THE NBM
NUMBERS LOOKED TOO LOW, SO WE OPTED TO BUMP FORECAST HIGHS OVER THE
NBM FOR TODAY AND SUNDAY. WHILE TEMPERATURES MAY EASE SLIGHTLY, WE
COULD SEE SOME PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVEL ON
SUNDAY, MAINLY EAST OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR INTO THE COASTAL PLAINS.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1200 AM CDT SAT SEP 12 2026
MID AND UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER
FEATURE THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. A LARGE AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE SETS UP OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. AND EVENTUALLY EXPANDS
WESTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF. THIS PATTERN IS
EXPECTED TO KEEP OUR FORECAST MOSTLY DRY ALONG WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. SOME LATE AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST FOR THE COASTAL PLAINS REGION. TEMPERATURES FOR MUCH OF
THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS
IN THE MID 90S TO LOWER 100S AND LOWS IN THE 70S.
